January is nearly finished and February is soon on her way (don't know why I see it as a woman) and I was thinking to myself, my 18th birthday is nearly here, which means party planning and excessive amounts of university interviews and auditions. The stress on my shoulders is slowly but surely building up, and I'm torn between either giving up and just sitting in my bedroom for the next 3 years, or whether to keep going so I can become a better person on the other side. So I thought that it'd be very necessary to make a post that I can reflect on as well as helping out my readers :)

1. Take time and breathe

First things first, that feeling of being overwhelming isn't very appealing. It's the equivalent to have a mixture of knots and real life butterflies in your stomach, and let me tell you, it's not nice. The major step is taking time out of everyday reality and relaxing, whether it be drawing yourself a nice bubble bath, doing a yoga class, listening to music, or literally nothing. Just pick whatever calms you right down and enjoy it.

2. Write everything down

This to me is a helpful step, mainly because without writing anything down, you'll be left feeling that you have to complete more work than there actually is. So take a notebook and write down how you much you need to complete, any deadlines and anything extra that needs doing (trust me, it helps)

3. Execute

Finally, the most important step is beginning anything that needs doing (The things that are written down) because there's no point in sitting there and complaining about how large your workload is, but instead you should just start, because the faster you start, the quicker it finishes. 

Hope this was helpful guys.
p.s if listening to music helps calm you down (like it does for me) check out my soundcloud, as I have multiple playlists for relaxing here

So the New Year is definitely underway, and the resolutions have started already as you can see above. I'm already in my mustard, and I think this proves that resolutions don't just make it to the first week in January, and they do in fact last as long as you are willing to let them.

I was recently contacted by Boohoo, and was challenged to wear something that normally I'd shy away from... However with it being a new year and having resolutions to stick to (Trying something new), I received this amazing bag and can I just say... I'm in love with it. The colours are absolutely beautiful and the definitely stand out. Which follows some of the things I learned from 2015 (Not sticking to trends and wearing only all-black). It's a girl's best friend, its extra roomy and has many compartments, allowing you to bring any extra bits and bobs. I was lucky enough to receive more than one item from Boohoo, and the second item will definitely be in my next outfit post... So stick around to make sure you don't miss it.

Happy New Year! I hope the year is going off to a wonderful start (No hangovers I hope) and I hope everybody has their year planned out, because I'm not sure I'm being cliché, but it seems to me that 2016 is the year that big things can and will happen!


So, as you can see below, you have caught a glimpse of my resolution, which is quite specific... Its not the usual 'to go the gym' or 'eat fewer sweets' but instead, I've decided to incorporate more Mustards/Browns into my wardrobe, mainly because I feel like it's a very dramatic and bright colour, compared to everyone's favoured muted tones. Also if you remember my previous post (here) I said not to follow trends, so hopefully for 2016 I can stick to that *fingers crossed*.
